WHO WE ARE
Since 1996, almost 30 years, the Pagan Interest Circle (PICT) of the First Unitarian Universalist Church Society of San Francisco, a Chapter organization of CUUPS, has been meeting for monthly Full Moon Rituals on the Saturday evening closest to the Full Moon, and for the solar pagan holidays of Winter Solstice and Beltane. We are an open circle dedicated to providing ritual space for all respectful families and individuals of any age. Our policy requires that our rituals are clean and sober, drugs, alcohol, fragrance and animal free. Individuals who rely on an animal companion are welcome but will need to secure their animal away from the the ritual room/space.

Upcoming
The Pagan Interest Circle Invites You to Gather in the Chapel This Saturday, March 7th, 2026, at 6:45 P.M. for a Healing Ritual of Release and Renewal. We will work with energies of the March Full “Worm” Moon, which is also a Total Lunar Eclipse “Blood” Moon.
​
In the early hours of Tuesday, March 3rd, 2026, from 12:44 A.M. to 6:23 A.M. PST, the Earth passed between the Sun and Moon, creating a total lunar eclipse visible on North America’s West Coast in all its phases. The moon reached its full phase at 3:37 A.M., in the middle of the lunar eclipse’s totality. The totality, when the Earth’s shadow bathed the entire lunar surface in a shade of red-orange, created the “Blood Moon," which began at 3:04 A.M. and ended at 4:02 A.M. PST.
The March Full Moon, called the Worm Moon for the beetle larvae emerging from tree bark and earthworms in soil not still frozen, traditionally is a time for observation: to watch the landscape and to take stock after winter. It is the time to begin planning for the growing season.
Though we may not plant crops as did our ancestors, we can attune to the rhythms of the season by readying ourselves for new projects and personal growth.
A total lunar eclipse amplifies lunar energy, often accelerating major energetic shifts, emotional releases, and major transformations.
The energy of this March Full Moon focuses on mental clarity, practicality, physical healing, releasing “cleaning out” what is no longer needed, and realistic intentions rooted in growth.
The Pagan Interest Circle will work with these energies Saturday, March 7th, at 6:45 P.M. We will gather in the Chapel for a Healing Ritual of release and renewal. Please be ready to engage with the “dis-ease” that manifests in your life, be it physical, mental, or emotional.
You may bring (but are not required to bring):
-A journal if you keep one
-An image or poem that evokes an emotional feeling you imagine you will have when your disease is healed
Finger food and/or non-alcoholic beverages to share after the ritual are always welcome!
If you have any questions, contact Christine Patch-Lindsay before 3:00 P.M. Saturday, March 7th.
